Monday morning in the vineyard

This was a week ago Monday. It was that same frosty morning I've been showing you lately. Callie and I walk out this dirt road to the end and back. This is about halfway out. Our mornings have been very nice lately. Lots of sun, few clouds.

A few morning clouds in an otherwise blue sky over the vineyards.

And the nights are brilliant, too. When it's clear (and cold this time of year), the stars are amazing. Looking in this direction (roughly west) right now from our windows in the evening we can see the waxing crescent moon accompanied by Venus and Jupiter. Later in the night (I'm often up wandering around at some point in the middle of the night), I can see the constellation Orion big and bright in the same direction.

I'm looking forward to summer when I can be outside after dark looking at the stars. If I can stay awake that long; the stars aren't visible until ten o'clock or later in the summer.
